Anchors will be big favorites to take the opening tilt of the City league series but followers of we Rovers are confident of their rep- resentatives making a dog-fight of it. all the way and are even con- fident of the team coming through with that all-important first vii:- tory in a short series.

Opinion is evenly divided as to the outcome of the junior tussle. Never has so much interest been evidenced in the youngsters and it appears as if a record crowd will be on hand when the two smart junior teams square oft against each other. N0 doubt 101".‘ it. both, managers will send ma: hurling aces to the mound and ‘f the kids are right it can mean a lot of trouble for. the batters.

And a good many expect the game to develop into a tense struggle all the way with scoring being kept at a minimum. Other times during this postseason both squads have demonstrated that they can play it close to the chest and if the game takes that pattern tomorrow afternoon (ans will very likely watch the game go into extra innings with the "breaks" having the final choice in selecting the winner.

The interscholastic track and field meet, inaugurated last year after a long lapse will be held on Memorial Field on Saturday, Sep- tember 25th. Director of Physical Fitness Bill Reid announced last night. The meet. which went ove. in such a big manner last season promises to be even bigger and better this year.

Main reason for this is the in- tcresl. that. rural schools are tak- ing in track and field. Youngsters of all ages and from all places can be seen almost daily getting in workouts and it ls the consensu: cf opinion among officials that. many new school marks will be established before tne curtain rings down on the final event. And the same officials are cont‘.- dent that much more promising material will be uncovered, ma- terial that with the proper traili- ing may develop into future t-fuCk and field stars.

By far the most important fiztlc extravaganza in some years is coming up on September 21 when Lesncvich fights Walcott and Zale takes on Cerdan. These bouts are on the one card. shaping up ll the best value proffered on l. fla- tlc card for some years.

Barney Ross thinks Zale will belt Cerdan out. in five rounds. Lesnevlch thinks he will beut Walcott. Both estimates are prop- ably right, though Lesnevich will have a harder job catching up to ‘ivalcott than Zale will in tagging Gordan. who is easy to hit.

llopes To Clear iip Heavyweight Mutldle Soon

(By Ed Corrigan) ‘

PATERSON, N, J.. Sept. 10- (CP) -— Notwithstanding sundry rumors to the contrary, president Abe Greene of the National Box- ing Association said today no new leavyiveight champion will bl: declared until Joe Louis retires of~ ficially. ‘

That puts the damper on any hopes of matching the winners o! the Jimmy Bivins-Ezzard Charla." and Jersey Joe Walcott-Gus Les- nevich fights and cailinfl It i title contest. Bivins and Charles tangle in Washington Monday and Walcott is slated to meet Les nevich in Jersey City Sept. 21.

Greene. however, did leave the door open. He said that the heavy- weight. muddle probably would be the main icpic on the agenda when the NBA. convenes [or iis annual meeting (or three days starting Monday in Philadelphia.

"OhvlousLv, the winners of the two fights would be considered the outstanding fighters in the heavyweight division,“ Greene said, "but that's not news. Who clse is there?"

Greene said that Louis would be the guest at the N.B.A.‘s uln- ner Tuesday night. and that he expected some definite word fiom the champion at the time.

"We hope to have the whole thing straightened out. by than," Greene commented. "However, until we hear from Loulsone-vay or the other we certainly cannot and will not declare another ma“ the heavyweight champion."

He said that close to 100 dele- gates from every N.B.A. state in the United States plus Cuba and Hawaii will be present. for the meeting. The only states which will not be represented officially are New York and Massachusetts.
